Gainward GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Phoenix-S

Name: Gainward GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Phoenix-S
Brand: Gainward
SKU: 2652

Manufacturer: Gainward

The Gainward GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Phoenix-S is a graphics card based on NVIDIA's Blackwell architecture, manufactured on a 5 nm process and equipped with 8,960 shading units. It operates at a base clock of 2,295 MHz with a boost frequency reaching 2,452 MHz, and supports features such as ray tracing, DLSS, and RGB lighting. The card accommodates up to four displays simultaneously and includes Intel Resizable BAR support.

On the memory side, the Phoenix-S carries 16GB of GDDR7 across a 256-bit bus, delivering an effective memory speed of 28,000 MHz and a maximum bandwidth of 896 GB/s. Its 280 texture mapping units achieve a texture rate of 686.6 GTexels/s, while the 96 ROPs contribute to a pixel rate of 235.4 GPixel/s. The card has a 300W TDP, connects via PCIe 5.0, and provides three DisplayPort outputs alongside one HDMI 2.1b port, with dimensions of 331.9 mm in length and 127.1 mm in height.

Pros

Supports up to four simultaneous display outputs, offering flexibility for multi-monitor setups
16GB of GDDR7 memory running on a 256-bit bus provides substantial VRAM headroom for demanding workloads
ECC memory support adds a layer of data integrity for compute-sensitive tasks
Ray tracing and DLSS are both supported, enabling advanced rendering features in compatible applications
Intel Resizable BAR support allows the CPU to access the full GPU framebuffer, which can improve frame delivery in supported scenarios
RGB lighting is built in, giving users visual customization options without requiring additional hardware

Cons

A 300W TDP demands a well-ventilated case and a capable power supply to operate reliably
Water cooling is not supported, limiting thermal management to the air-cooling solution alone
No USB-C, DVI, or mini DisplayPort outputs are available, restricting compatibility with certain display types
The card measures 331.9 mm in length, which may not fit in smaller or compact PC enclosures
XeSS (XMX) is not supported, narrowing upscaling options to DLSS only

Who is this for?

This card is well-suited to users who run demanding rendering and compute workloads, given its 43.94 TFLOPS of floating-point performance, ECC memory support, and Double Precision Floating Point capability. The 16GB of GDDR7 memory with 896 GB/s of bandwidth makes it a practical choice for those working with large textures, high-resolution assets, or memory-intensive GPU compute tasks. Users who rely on multi-monitor workflows will also benefit from the four-display support across three DisplayPort and one HDMI 2.1b output, while ray tracing and DLSS support make it relevant for those running graphically advanced applications.

Who is this NOT for?

Users working in space-constrained builds may find the 331.9 mm card length incompatible with compact or small-form-factor enclosures. The 300W TDP makes this a poor fit for systems with limited power delivery or restricted airflow, particularly since water cooling is not supported and thermal management relies entirely on the air-cooling solution. Those who specifically require USB-C display output, DVI connectivity, or XeSS upscaling will also find this card lacking, as none of those options are available.

Built on the Blackwell architecture and fabricated at 5 nm, this card integrates 45,600 million transistors and connects to the host system via PCIe 5.0. It carries a 300W TDP and relies on air cooling, as water cooling is not supported. The card measures 331.9 mm in width and 127.1 mm in height.

Final Verdict

The Gainward GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Phoenix-S brings together a capable set of specifications built around NVIDIA's Blackwell architecture, with its 16GB of GDDR7 memory and 896 GB/s of bandwidth standing out as central to its appeal for users handling memory-intensive rendering or compute tasks. Ray tracing, DLSS, ECC memory support, and four-display output capability round out a feature set that positions this card toward users with substantive workload demands rather than casual use. The 300W TDP and 331.9 mm length do impose real system requirements, and the absence of water cooling support means thermal management depends entirely on case airflow. For users whose builds can accommodate it, the Phoenix-S delivers a well-specified package that holds up across both graphics and general GPU compute scenarios.
